Mayor AmeS yesterday morning. while
engaged in the pastoral duty of moving
MS lawn, suffered a slight SunStroke. 1t
was reported about the city that his con-
ultlon was alarming, but GLOBE re-
porter who called at his residence found

ON, yes, he said, the sun got little the
pest OF me this morning, but am still alive,
ana member Of the police commission ex-
othcio. What do think about the commits
slon'S recent acts? Why, the people who are
members OF the commission are nice elegant
gentlemen. The only trouble with them is
mat they are the creatures of the
Iunct Republican council and do
not represent the people in any particular
~ their last session they ordered the super
1ntendent of police to enforce all laws and
ordinances without discrimination. That in
cludeS the ordinances prohibiting trains run
nlng faster than six miles an hour within the
city limits, the blowing of steam whistles, the

ing, prostitution on First street. the keeping

4 dynamiters should come TO the town. for
instance, there might be some damage before
they had time TO hold one of their meetings
Another trouble with the police commission
erS Is that they imagine they are park COM
1nlssloners as well. The real park commits
sioners, however. feel competent to handle
The business of the board without
the advice or consent of the police
commission. With the consent of provi-
denee and the last legislature, aided by c. NJ.
Lorlng, OF the park commission, we have
been given the power of appointing a
park police. This, leaves us free of
the fangs of the non partisan Re
publican police commission, and therefore
we as non-partisan Democrats are not re-
sponsible TO ii nor to the non-partisan Re-
publican press. Apparently President Lo.-
ing has in his cheerful non partisan way got
in his non-partisan work upon the non
partisan Republican press, but the Democrats
take all this protest for what it
is worth, coming from the source
called the board of trade back Mr.. Loring and
his policy on the non partisan Republican
plan, but, thank God the Democrats are able
40 prove that certain present and eX-park
commissioners have made more than Il salary
